is it written on the visa?

Leave the field blank if you don't remember or have no evidence of it.

It is not a big deal.

In my case, it was an 8 digit (all numbers) number the bottom right of the visa (above the footer section). Hope this helps.

To be honest, I looked for the UCI number on the letter and could not find any such thing! Then I was told that it is also present on the visa, and the only number which matched the description (pure numerical 8 digit value) was this particular number. Not sure if this solves your problem though.

^ I had a UCI on my letter. If you are opening the letter in your web browser, you may not find it. Download it first and open the letter locally with Adobe Reader.

Anyway, nin_ja already said it. It's on the visa, bottom right 8-digit number.

On the visa below, the UCI is 90219132

(That's not my visa, I just found it on Google Images.)

Yes, the pdf that they sent you when they approve the TRV, that contains a number. I guess around the top right corner close to the bar code? That is your UCI. UCI is issued for TRV as well. UCI is like a profile for all applicants on IRCC's system. You will be issued an UCI irrespective of what type of Visa you apply, and it will be issued even if your VISA is rejected.
